Lily
metaphor for grace under siege
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (3)
Gusty torrent rains,
Bitter wind,
Pounding hail.
The Sturdy Oak
Split in two.
The Mighty Pine
Bent and broken.
Yet when the storm clears
And the maelstrom ceases,
It is the white lily,
Slightly tattered,
That prevails
With gentle power.
